play it by ear 看情況而定
【講解】
ear指“耳朵”，引申為“聽到或看到的實際情況”，play it by ear“看情況而定，沒有固定計劃”。其反義習語為play it by the book，指“嚴格按規(guī)則辦事，循規(guī)蹈矩”。
【對話】
A:Stay with me, OK? I don't feel like staying here by myself.
A:留下來陪陪我吧，好嗎？我不喜歡自己呆在這兒。
B:Well,OK. If something does turn up, I'll just play it by ear.
B:好吧。如果有事的話，我就只好看情況而定了。
